Robert Thomas had the right to buy certain real property from Rogers Auto Collision (RAC).
When RAC wouldn't honor the deal, Thomas was forced to sue and, after a trial, the Kings County Supreme Court ended up ordering that the sale occur.
During the course of the hearing, Thomas forgot to present proof that he had the financial wherewithal to purchase the parcel. But when RAC asked for the case's dismissal, on the grounds the guy hadn't shown he was "ready, willing, and able" to close on the purchase, the court responded by reopening the case and allowing Thomas to present his proof.
Finding no error, the Appellate Division, Second Department, affirmed on appeal.
Thomas sure RACked that up!
